[Marriage First, Love Later + Secret Marriage + Love-Rival Showdown as He Pursues His Wife]
Fang Zhixia's marriage to Mu Silan began with a cold agreement. Two people with nothing in common were bound together by their families' interests.
On the day they registered their marriage, he asked her, "Any requests?"
"Yes. Don't make it public."
Mu Silan assumed she thought he was too much trouble. He flew abroad soon after and was out of touch for more than half a year.
Fang Zhixia buried herself in writing scripts and completely forgot about it.
When her new drama began production, it just so happened that Mu Silan was part of the cast.
The director introduced them enthusiastically. "Zhixia, this is our leading man, Mr. Mu Silan. You two should get acquainted."
Fang Zhixia politely held out her hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Mu. I've heard a lot about you."
That night, he cornered her in the kitchen, his voice low. "Fang Zhixia, you call that 'I've heard a lot about you'?"
She looked at him earnestly. "Mr. Mu, you're a top-tier star now, and I'm just a little screenwriter. If people find out we're married, you'll lose fans and I'll get harassed online. For your sake, let's keep pretending we don't know each other."
He thought she didn't love him. In truth, she just didn't dare to.
Later, every drama she wrote had a male lead surnamed Mu.
